Centennial Recreation Center New Roof Installation
Wednesday, August 28, 2024: Work continues on the 3 “Build Outs,” the walls on the west side of the pool area, nearing completion. Demolition continues on the whirlpool.
Thursday, August 15, 2024: During the installation of the new roof, it was discovered that the area of the roof in the pool area that connects to the exterior wall is failing; therefore, additional planning and resource approval was needed. Sprinkler, steel, roofing, masonry and dry wall repairs will begin. We project this phase will take approximately 4 weeks once construction begins. We apologize for this inconvenience; the construction issues were not previously known until the roofers opened up the area during the roof replacement process.

A portion of the fitness floor walking track at Club Fitness and some of the equipment (squat racks and Smith machine) have been closed as work resumes on the roofing project. As soon as these areas re-open, we will post it here and on the facebook Club Fitness page. The area has been re-opened.

To the Community of Addison,
The Addison Park District is excited to announce our $1.5 million facility improvement project for Centennial Recreation Center, 1776 W. Centennial Place, will begin on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. Centennial Recreation Center is home to Club Fitness, our indoor pool, Centennial Gym, NEDSRA, and Athletico.
The project’s scope of work includes a new roof, water damage repairs, and preparations to install the park district’s first ever air conditioning unit at Centennial Gym, making the gym comfortable and accessible during the summer months, which will greatly benefit the community. This project is expected to take approximately 2 months and involves: demolition of the existing roof, installation of a new roof, repair of water damage, painting, sealing, prepping for the air conditioning unit, electrical and plumbing work, etc.
Staff had a kick-off meeting with the contractor this morning, Friday, May 31, and we learned the contractor is requiring us to close portions of the facility during this renovation project for the safety of our staff and patrons.
The first closure will be the pool, which will begin on Tuesday, June 4th, and we anticipate it will be closed for 2 months, while the contractor fixes and repairs the internal water damage in the pool area. If we are able to open it earlier, we will make an announcement. With the closure of the pool, there will be no group aquatic classes, swim lessons, or open swim during this time. We sincerely apologize, as it is never our desire to cancel programs or close facilities. We are currently researching other opportunities to run these programs during the closure.
As we receive updated closure information from the contractor, we will announce these temporary closures and updates in the following ways:
* On the website at addisonparks.org/projects
* Social Media on the Club Fitness Facebook page
* Signage inside the building
Lastly, please be patient with this process. Our staff is here to help answer questions but may not have all of the answers since we are in the beginning stages of this project.
